Have you tried the official Mendas financial reasoning test sample questions? Want to know how you did, or what you needed to do to answer the questions correctly? Mendas don't actually tell you how you have done, so read on to get both the answers and explanations to each question from JobTestPrep's test developers.

The Mendas financial reasoning test practice leaflet is a vital resource for anyone taking the financial reasoning test as it gives you an insight into the skills you must have in order to answer the questions in the test. However there is one vital flaw in the leaflet. It does not provide explanations allowing you to understand where you went wrong. This blog sets out explanations and solving strategies for each of the three practice questions in the leaflet.

Practice Question 1

Answer: B - 37%We are told in the information above that profits rose by 33% when the box office takings rose by 40%. We are also told in the questions that there is a direct correlation between the percentage change in box office takings and the percentage change in profits. Based on this we can conclude that there is a ratio of 33:40 between the profit change and box office change.

This ratio means that for every 40 percentage points the box office takings change, the profits change by 33 percentage points. Since 33 is 82.5% of 40 (33/40 = 0.825), we can say that profits change by 82.5% the amount that box office takings change.

If analysts predicted an increase of 45% in box office takings, they would have predicted the profits to increase by 82.5% as much.
